Snapshots work on the dataset, not the pool (there is no "zpool snapshot" command :-) What usually trips me up is the auto-snapshot service and inherited properties. You will want to make sure and not snapshot those file systems which are "temporary" in nature. You can do this with the advanced options section of the Time Slider Manager GUI, or by setting the com.sun:auto-snapshot parameter appropriately on your datasets. -- richard ZFS storage and performance consulting at http://www.RichardElling.com ZFS training on deduplication, NexentaStor, and NAS performance http://nexenta-atlanta.eventbrite.com (March 16-18, 2010) _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
